[Wyvern]

Don't think anyones picked this one - Havergal Brians Gothic Symphony - 2 Tenor and 2 Bass on stage and six bass off stage - the score actually stipulates at one point ten tubas.

Most Brian parts are stonking - a man who knew how to write from the bottom up!

Now that is one which would be great to play!

Prokofief - Alexander Nevsky

Vaughan Williams - A Sea Symphony (esp. Mvt 3 - if you have ever played it, you know where I mean), Sinfonia Antarctica

Sibelius - Symphony #1. (Wet dream program: Sibelius 1, intermission, Sibelius 2.)

Revueltas - Sensemaya - maybe not so loud, but dense as hell, and lots of fun.

Feierlicher Einzug by Strauss

Played it last year with band, amazing ending, continuous wall of sound
